Program details

Overview

This taught master's programme extends undergraduate mechanical engineering into advanced design, analysis and measurement. Students work in a metrology laboratory equipped by an industrial partner, which supports practical teaching and project work. Projects are carried out with industrial collaborators, and the staff who teach the course are active researchers. Learners gain experience of research methods in an environment built around current engineering problems. The programme is accredited by a professional engineering institution as further learning towards chartered engineer registration. Graduates are prepared for senior engineering roles in industry or for doctoral research. Students who complete the programme may progress towards chartered status and benefit from the research-led environment of the school's engineering groups. The course also includes an individual project developed with industrial partners.
